These capris are not standard fit/looseness. They're compression fit: they're noticeably tighter on your legs than average capris. But to me, that's not uncomfortable at all. In fact, it's exactly what I needed: a nice, supportive hug around my thighs and calves (I'm 5' tall, so these fit more like longer capris on my legs and cover a few more inches of my calves) while I work out. My legs love the way these feel.
If you don't want a tight fit, order one size up and they'll fit more like average capris.
My only con is the rise height. Since I'm short, I can pull these clear up to my navel. But I knew that'd be a problem when I bought these (ah, the plight of the short person). I just make sure to pull them only up to about an inch below my belly button, and they usually stay put.
The waistband isn't super tight, despite these being compression capris. It's actually kinda comfy, as long as it's not right up on my navel. The mesh panels at bottom of each leg don't hit me quite where they hit the model in the photo, because I'm short. But they're still very useful.
I wear these for any exercise that involves lots of leg movement, particularly HIIT. If the rise was lower, they'd be perfect for me. As they are, they're very good.

I have to say these are the best workout leggings ever!! First of all the compression material from Spanx hugs my legs perfectly - the waist band is wide and is sooo comfortable you don't feel it digging in at your waist at all. Although I have a pretty strong core from my daily Pilates and yoga routine - the form fitting waistband gives you that extra support and it provides you with such a smooth silhouette all over. I absolutely love them - not to mention all the extra head turns you are going to get when working out at the gym!! My boyfriend absolutely loves them on me too!! The material is breathable yet a little on the thicker side so be careful during the hot summer days - probably a little more comfortable wearing them during the cooler seasons.

I have been looking for a workout thong for a long time because I sweat so much, so I have to wear something. These are awesome! I am short and hefty, and the XL actually rises a little too high for my workout tights in the back. I am going to try a L to see the difference. Love these!! I wish they came in other colors!

I love the extra long sleeves and extra long length. This t is pretty see- through, so wouldn't work at all on its own, but is perfect layering. I haven't washed it yet, so will be curious how it holds up- i've had issues with other Splendid t's getting holes pretty fast (like after just a couple washings).

I work out 4 times a week so I have a lot of work out pants. These are always one of my go to pair. They smooth, shape and don't fall down when I run. I love wearing these capri pants and have recommended them to every person that is looking for workout pants.

Didn't think about my underwear once during my workout! No shifting or bunching. No panty lines either!
Already purchased two more. For reference, I have a 27" waist and 38" hips and normally wear a size 4 in pants. The size small in these was perfect.

Things I loved: The fabric was light and breathable. The waistline didn't cut or dig anywhere. Dried quickly.
Things I didn't love: I don't feel like the back covers my butt cheeks. After about 15 minutes, I'm constantly picking at a wedgie.
